NOTE: Be sure to set your PC back to its original wireless settings after you finish configuring the wireless Serial
Server.
NOTE: It is not necessary to change your computer’s settings if you are configuring the Serial Server’s settings via
an Ethernet connection.
First-Time Configuration of the Wireless Serial Server Using 802.11b/g
Although the Serial Server can be configured using a wireless connection, it is recommended that the Serial Server
be initially configured using a wired connection as described on the previous pages. The Serial Server’s wireless
network interface supports all modes of 802.11b/g from 1 to 54 Mbps. The wireless network is only active if the Serial
Server is not connected to a wired network. If a wired link is established to the Serial Server, the wireless link is
automatically disabled. To configure the wireless Serial Server for the first time from a computer via an 802.11b/g
wireless connection, you will need to temporarily change your computer’s settings to match the default settings of the
Serial Server as follows:
Wireless Mode: Ad-Hoc (sometimes referred to as Peer-to-Peer)
Channel: 11
SSID (or wireless network name): serserv
You should now be able to configure your Serial Server using either the ExtendView Utility or the Web Browser
Interface as described in the previous sections.
In addition to the standard 802.11 WEP (Wired Equivalency Privacy), SystemBase provides additional wireless
security options (refer to the security section at the end of this manual for detailed information).
